one year later | irvine baby photographer | cindy chen

I can’t believe how fast time flies because it really doesn’t seem like it was one year ago that I was shooting
this little gal’s newborn photos. What a difference a year makes!

I usually don’t use any first names in my blog posts, however, for this post there is no point in hiding it…
it’s written all over her shirt!

Keira’s super cute custom shirt was made by the fabulous Em Tanner Designs. I couldn’t get over how cute it was during the session. If you haven’t checked out Em Tanner’s site, you should. So many cute things – and not just clothing…. hairclips, bags, plates, utensils, and so much more for both girls and boys. And since you can order her products to match your child (or yourself), it makes it totally fun!

After the park, we headed back to Keira’s house for some lifestyle shots at home. I love the curiousity in her eyes, the backlight on her baby hair, the drool hanging off her chin, and the colors of all the toys in her play area. These little moments are so important to capture and remember because they go by so quickly.

Keira, you were lots of fun to photograph and it was been a joy watching you grow this past year.
I am looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you, sweet girl!
Jamie and Mike, I am honored that you chose me as your photographer for Keira’s milestone birthday, thank you.

thank you soooo sooooo much Cindy for capturing all these stages of our lives. from the maternity to the newborn to the first birthday, you’ve played an important part in our girl’s life. we are so lucky to call you a friend

Happy one year K. She is so so adorable. Mike and Jamie, I know she brings you so much joy! She brings a sweet smile to my face when I see these images. I am so glad you have these memories to treasure what she looks like now because before you know it, she’s at her first dance with a boy! And there will be plenty lining up to take her to the dance, she’s beautiful!
